Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"For more than 20 years ProAmpac has partnered with Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Orlando to jointly supply lidding and films to the marketplace," said ProAmpac CEO Greg Tucker.

"This acquisition enables us to offer customers an integrated and comprehensive capability as well as an ability to meet their increasing demands for daisy chain portion-pack lidding. We are pleased about the enhanced offerings this acquisition will bring to our customers," Tucker added.

Founded in 1977, Clondalkin acquired Spiralkote in 2002, and in 2014 became known as Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Orlando. The business will become part of the ProAmpac brand and operate as a part of the Extrusion and Laminations Division. Bill Harris, former president of Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Orlando, will lead ProAmpac's lidding solutions.
